They’re not good.
The Cowboys are shit. The Chiefs aren’t. The World Series starts tonight (nobody gives a fuck). And the UCL gets started today. Oh yeah, and we’re just four days away from the start of the college football season. Yay!!!
Dude was a beast!
English astronomer and architect Christopher Wren was born on this day. He shares it with psychologist John Dewey, actor Bela Lugosi, neutron discoverer James Chadwick, baseball player and power drinker Mickey Mantle, HOF pitcher Juan Marichal, musical genius Tom Petty, first baseman Keith Hernandez, soccer great Ian Rush, rapper and entrepreneur Snoop Dog, and actor John Krasinski.
Decent list, but it’s time to move on to…the links!
Oh my!
I never really expected CNN to get this headline right. Not that I expected them to say their top legal analyst whipped his dick out and started jacking it on a New Yorker staff call, but still. They know what happened.Oh, and if you don’t have a twitter account, you’re missing out. Shit like this is where the platform really shines.
Trump demands debate topics be changed (to the topic the last debate is always about, they fail to mention). We’re about to have an election and not a single debate will have asked about foreign policy. And one of the candidates will have spent more time in his basement than on the trail over the last two months of the campaign. And the media won’t even mention it. Seems legit.
This guy seems sane. Just the type of tolerance I’ve come to expect from the tolerant left.
Four strangers.
The Hunter Biden shit gets weirder by the day. Not that you’d hear it on CNN or MSNBC, or any of the networks.
The Supreme Court allows PA to receive ballots up to three days after the election. Which is fine by me. The mail can run slow. What’s fucked up is that the ballots don’t have to have clear postmarks. But I guess that’s because ballots have never just appeared out of nowhere int a big election, right? Al Franken’s entire election was legit.
I’m sure this will make her friends and influence others. Not that she gives a shit.
I’m sure the city isn’t gonna stand for this. But they’ll ding him with code violations and other stupid shit since they know people like him are bailing out their useless police department.
NASA gonna try to get part of an asteroid. This is actually pretty cool. I’m glad they scheduled it before their mission changed to being inclusive and shit.
Here’s a beautiful song. Enjoy it.

I never really expected CNN to get this headline right.
I wouldn’t expect to get the hard truth from CNN.
*narrows gaze*
They were only two inches from the truth.
Toobin has always been a jerk.
Why do you always have a bone to pick with him?
“What the hell are you doin, Jeffrey?”
“Toobin”
“THIS IS CNN!!!!!!!!”
They almost buttoned down the details of that one.
So did he just pull it out, or did he pull it out and play with it? There is a difference…
What was the NY Post’s headline? “New York Post”?
*redoubles narrowed gaze*
The actual one isn’t bad.

Why are they trying to punish someone from CNN for doing what the network’s specialty is? Play with itself…
Nice!
I figured CNN would hang to the left on that one.
I am far less worried about the dnc operatives with bylines trying their best to hide this story. My concern is what the fucking FBI, which send an agent that specializes in child porn investigations, to pick the thing up when the guy called them in, did sitting on this story for over a year. Had the store owner not backed this up and called in Giuliani, we would never have heard of this until after the election (when they replaced Biden with the hag VP). The FBI needs to have the entire leadership sent to jail. And this likely applies to the CIA, NSA, and DOJ as well, at a minimum.

“to stop an attack on a tourist from intensifying”
When did this “intensifying” get plugged into everything?

I’ve tried to be a healthy skeptical of the Biden Emails, but I’ll admit that it’s getting harder to be a skeptic. A lot of it seems legit.
-The Last Continent by Pterry
There is approximately zero reason to think they aren’t. Biden’s people aren’t even denying they are legit. Some have been corroborated, the great thing about email being there’s never only one copy.
Plus the FBI has had them for months and done nothing. What more do you need?
An unreasonable prosecutor?
A 9th Circuit Court Judge and John Fucking Roberts sweating bullets over Epstein’s Island. Simple, barely an inconvenience!
I have no evidence to be skeptical with, other than “Be skeptical of astounding claims”. when it first came out i had some doubts. But the Biden Campaign has done everything in it’s power to asuage those doubts and make me believe they are real.
For me it was the fact that the tech didn’t go directly too the press unlike the asinine claims of trump disparaging the military. These are real, and it wont matter. Trump said grab em by the pu**y, so he must be removed. Whenever I get into philosophical conversations (not even arguments, simply just philosophical discussions), the response is almost always “well I guess we should just grab em by the pu**y, then? That’s how we should run the United States of America?” and I just roll my eyes and take another swig.

I’ve noticed an odd pattern on my walks. There are no yard signs whatsoever, but there are bumper stickers. On parked cars, I’ve seen multiple with Pro-Trump stickers, no cars with pro-Biden stickers, and one car with a sticker infestation that included anti-trump stickers.
I don’t get the fascination with the number of yard signs. I suppose it’s a great barometer for that one person that put up a yard sign.
It’s a way to gauge public enthusiasm.
Of people with lawns, sure.
A lot more people have lawns around here.
I’d imagine people with lawns probably vote republican on average. An apartment complex that holds a hundred people kind of throws the lawn sign thing a bit out the window, no?
At least here, it’s not uncommon for the apartment dwellers to hang signs on their balconies (if they have them), or up in one of the windows of their apartment.
No.
This is the New York Capital District. The lawns belong to state bureaucrats and lobbyists. It’s a very blue region.
“VOTE FOR DEWEY!”
That is both bad and good, Alex.
Only banner I could find, man…
Don’t hate..
Young women hardest hit?
What is the cutoff point for women in regards to removing their lawns?
Once there is grass on the field?
It’s all people really have to guesstimate by. You can’t ask people about politics now, because if they have the wrong opinions you’re supposed to hate them. There is no civil discourse left in America.
Just what I’d expect a commie to say!
It’s just a quick read of the area. In order to put up a yard sign, someone had to go buy the sign, drag their sorry ass off the couch, and spend a couple minutes putting it up in the yard.
It’s a level of effort a little higher then responding to an online poll or sharing a tweet.
I saw a great one yesteday: “Please No Signs”.
It was a major intersection, but I guess that corner was private property and they ddint want signs…but…they had put up a sign.
And problem solved. The extra R in Bermurda was time travelling from the yesteday in this post.
I saw one that said “Private Sign, Do not Read.”
“If you can read this, Get Off My Lawn”
A good sign of that effect would be” If you can read this, you’re in range”
“If you can read this, a little to the left.”
Like putting “This page intentionally left blank” on a formerly blank page.

There’s a small street I regularly bike past. It’s got about a half dozen signs hanging up, by my favorite, right next to each other are:
Dead End
No Outlet
No Thru Traffic
They really don’t want you going down that street unless you mean to.
What are the odds that it connects thru and they just dont want the traffic?
I’ve never gone down it (the road is torn to shit, and dodging potholes on a bike is less than fun). From what I know of the area, I believe there’s another street at the end, but that one is a one way that feeds into the original street (with the signs).

It was stolen a few days later. I estimate the number of yards here in the burbs with signs at about 40% – pretty evenly split. The yards with a plethora of signs are usually pimping Team Blue candidates. I’ve also more than a few BLM signs, it’s apparently important to some people that passers-by and neighbors know how woke they are. I think it makes it easier to identify the idiots leaving among us.
I estimate the number of yards here in the burbs with signs at about 40%
Wow, that’s a lot.
It’s maybe 20% here, slightly leaning pro-trump.
Our neighborhood is about there. I haven’t seen any Biden signs, although there are a bunch for the repulsive Abigail Spanberger, which would indicate someone who is voting Biden but not terribly enthused about it.
Interesting thing I saw this weekend – went camping with my daughter in Amelia Court House, which saw us driving southwest through rural parts of Chesterfield and Amelia counties. Most of the drive was heavily Trump-signed, as you would probably expect in a rural area. However, for a few miles in Amelia, there was a stretch were every house seemed to be festooned with multiple Biden signs. It was odd.
Most places I have seen Biden signs are dead giveaways of smug Prius driving douchery.
I was driving through the White Earth res a few weeks ago and was stunned I saw any Trump signs, but there were quite a few. A lot of the farmers had Biden signs up.
Those pro Trump people need to reassess their commitment to the flair.
Living in college towns (wife works at a nearby university), Biden signs only just showed up this past week. And nearly all of them also say Warner/Webb. Having lived here from 2008 onward, I can tell you this is the least enthused these leftist have ever been. The town will definitely swing for Biden, but I predict it will be closer than in 2016 when the county went 54 to 45 Killary (If I remember correctly). I am actually coming around to the idea that many leftest actually want trump to win as then they can burn it all down again. The smart ones who actually do care about justice and police reform see the facade and realize that a second trump presidency gives them a green light to continue pillaging and fighting for their marxist utopia. If Biden wins, they wont have any reason to burn down corporate America.
If Biden wins he sells them out to the Chicoms and they’re seriously fucked.

The letter goes on to say that the third debate was supposed to focus on foreign policy, but instead, six other topics were announced by the event moderator: fighting COVID-19, American families, race in America, climate change, national security, and leadership.
What we need is to rehash the first debate so we can finally get Drumpfler to say,once and for all and in no uncertain terms, that he denounces white-supremacy.
What are the odds they will ask him to denounce it again? Will it be close to 100%?
I’d laugh out loud if he said something regarding Western Civilization and how these countries came to be. Maybe quote some Scottish Enlightenment philosophers. It’s never gonna happen.
I am still waiting for someone to ask Sleepy Joe to denounce his Richard Spencer endorsement.
And yes, they are mendacious cuntes that will ask Trump again. There is a reason they want “race in America” as a topic.
They are really worried Trump is making a headway with the minority votes they have taken for granted in the dnc?
Well…they managed to piss off 50 Cent now too…so thats 3 rappers that have left the democratic plantation publically.
Maybe this time Trump won’t bumble it.
Trump is an idiot. How was he not prepared to handle the white supremacy attack when that has been a centerpiece of Biden’s campaign?
He could say “I denounce white supremacy” and they’d still find a way to parse his statement that would be “problematic”.
He should say, “I hate the idea that whites have more privilege than minorities. Did you know that not one son of a black politician has been put on the board of a Ukranian energy company? Not one daughter of a black politician has been given shares in a Chinese technology company?”
Are you telling me neither of Obama’s daughters has received a sweet kickback deal or donothing 7figure job from a shady foreign entity?
Way to Hitler, Whites.
All they’ve got are a couple admissions to fancy colleges that they didn’t have the scores to deserve. Big deal.
Oh come on. It’s not like they talked at length about “race” and “climate change” at the last debate.

What I learned, this morning (via some pontificating jackass from Nortwestern):
Even contemplating herd immunity, absent a completely effective vaccine, is nothing less than criminally insane.
Also, Sweden is different from America. There are no fat people or libertarians there.
So you learned to believe stupid shit?
But they are fine with the working-class going to their jobs and bringing the virus home to their families.
One should be free to lock themselves down for three years if they want. Time will tell if they were the intelligent ones or were insane nutjobs. But they don’t want to take the risk that the community will judge them as stupid, paranoid assholes with no credibility, so they want to take the position that everyone except the working-class should be locked down (while still getting paychecks) – a position that is criminally insane, racist, and completely ignorant of scientific knowledge of how viruses work in general and how this virus has worked in specific.
Working at a grocery store isn’t a calling like teaching. So it is ok if those mini-capitalists get sick and die.
There are a lot more fat people here now that they’ve shut the gyms down.
In my experience, the same people who say that “antibodies only last 3 months so you can get infected again” are the same people who think that a vaccine will make you immune forever.
No one was hurt, and it was unclear whether the round caused any damage to Houk’s vehicle, but police tracked down Kuhn as the man accused of firing the shot. They said they found a 12-gauge shotgun on his property and took the 50-year-old into custody.
This says fired a shot but no indication of the direction.

Kinnath’s tune from his post is better.
I can’t watch the debate. As much as I love that Trump is the antithesis of the establishment; it means that I lose brain cells listening to the nonsense he spouts before and immediately after each point. I might watch highlights. though, more likely, I’ll just head on over to google news, read what all the leftist opinion writers said trump said, and know it was nearly the opposite and probably a good take.

“Which is fine by me. The mail can run slow.”
Not fine by me even with postmarks. Security flaws are security flaws. Mail it early, drop it off or vote in person, but allowing ballots to be delivered after the polls close is election fraud 101.
Of all the security flaws of mail in ballots, faking postmarks is amongst the least of my worries.
Its not faking, its simply not having one… see MN and WA elections.
I just think anything the government says has to be done on or by a certain date should be fine if it’s postmarked on or by that date. See: income tax returns.
Ordinarily, sure.
But I see no reason to pile more security holes onto an already trashed electoral system.
Your ballot got tossed because you trusted it to the postal service? Maybe don’t do that. Maybe use a secure and reliable method of voting, even if it’s just the tiniest bit inconvenient.
Found out this week that Japan doesn’t even have mail in voting. When I asked the geezer I was talking to if they did, he said, “No. Why would we do that?”
Practically nobody does.
Because it’s a massive, gaping security disaster than even third world shitholes would be embarrassed to call a legitimate election.
Vapid nonsense on toast
TW: Harvard Business Review
When an organization stops innovating, it is only a matter of time before it fails. But what causes a company to cease coming up with new ideas? Over the last 20 years, I’ve studied many failed organizations and one of the things I consistently see is an almost imperceptible erosion of intellectual bravery.
Intellectual bravery is a willingness to disagree, dissent, or challenge the status quo in a setting of social risk in which you could be embarrassed, marginalized, or punished in some way. When intellectual bravery disappears, organizations develop patterns of willful blindness. Bureaucracy buries boldness. Efficiency crushes creativity. From there, the status quo calcifies and stagnation sets in.
——-
How did the leader of Team B do it? She created comfort and protection for team members to speak up. Employees naturally engage in threat detection as they interact in the workplace. If they see evidence that other employees have been marginalized, embarrassed, or punished in some way because of their position, gender, ethnicity, age, neurodiversity, or another demographic variable, they use that information to decide whether or not to be vulnerable — even for something as seemingly benign as asking a question. For instance, a new employee may hesitate to ask a question because he perceives that he is not authorized to contribute until he gains more tenure. Or a woman of color may not express an important insight because she witnesses instances of gender and racial bias. By reducing social risk, you can create a culture of intellectual bravery, making it more likely that people will feel comfortable speaking up.
Based on my research with diverse, global teams, I’ve found seven ways to create intellectual bravery on your team
Not mentioned: rewarding people adding value to the enterprise.
Be brave, but don’t let HR catch you spreading wrongthink.
“neurodiversity”
He might be bipolar and frighten everyone, but we check the neurodiversity box!
They lick windows.
Not shown: any correlation between D & I programs and increased profitability, value, productivity, etc.
Negative correlation is correlation
Typical HBR.
That said, organizations that don’t tolerate professional disagreement or dissent aren’t generally successful. However, I don’t think we have to safe spaces at work either.
Hah! I was scrolling past, and that style of writing immediately flagged it as such.
Thanks for the school offer from the other day, saw it late. I’m going to struggle/put off on my own a bit more but might hit you up later on that.
“She created comfort and protection for team members to speak up.”
Nothing mentioned about skilled white workers gritting their teeth through struggle sessions and plotting their escape to a saner workplace.
Interesting that they don’t cover marginalized, embarrassed or punished for stupidity.
CNN doesn’t lie. It really was a banana.
Well it was slippery….
I have been seeing a lot of Biden/Harris signs in Indianapolis and Carmel. Many more than Trump. It might be completely different if you go west to Brownsburg or Pittsboro.
I’ve seen barely any Biden and ton of Trump (including a trump parade). I’m in a county that Clinton won by 1 point.
Can concur, that in the Indianapolis area I’ve actually been surprised at the lack of Trump signs. I’m not shocked at the number of Biden signs, just the lacking counterpart.
There is a permanent sign a machine shop made on Binford Blvd, a major 4 lane road from the burbs to downtown. It has been vandalized several times. They keep fixing it. It now has one of the camera/light stations that they put in parking lots at WalMart’s and other grocery stores in bad neighborhoods.
permanent Trump sign that is.
I think the Quiet Vote is bigly. Who the fuck wants to die in a fire?

It’s amazing how many Mayors and Governors keep running off the cliff and yet, They Persisted! Chicago Politics is worse than Tammany Hall.
At some point the problem becomes unfixable and all you can do is grab your share of the grift and pray it doesn’t come down on your head. Chicago, Illinois, and the US all passed that point a long time back.

They really don’t want you going down that street unless you mean to.
They might as well put up a “This Way to the Shortcut” sign.
There is a bridge a couple blocks away that feeds into my (one-way, side-) street. Drivers, including the bus route that crosses that bridge, are supposed to turn right at the foot of the bridge to hit the major (two-way) street one block over and which for some stupid reason does NOT carry that bridge. Needless to say, all the traffic comes piling down my street instead. There are no signs, though. I’ve wished there were, to see if it would have any effect.
There needs to be an official SimCity for shit like that.
I think Cities Skylines lets you set the direction of the roads as “One Way” if you want to.
I mean using the game as a way to communicate actual infrastructure needs between citizens, thereby eliminating the city govt.
“This way to the egress”.
I learned real quick in New Mexico when you see those signs you pay attention. I missed one of them up in the Sacramento Mtns and was on private native land and they really didnt care for my excuses and apologies.
Looks like the hanko lobby in Japan took lessons from the newspaper and publishing industry in the US. Public notice requirements in newspapers and required paper notifications in financial services still remain here.
The hanko is an official stamp that is used where you would simply sign here.
A-HED One Man vs. the Fax Machine: A Battle to Defeat Old Tech in Japan
I like the Hanko system. It’s easy and I don’t have to worry about whether I’ve changed my handwriting when I sign something.
“We are feeling a sense of crisis that the frequency of hanko use is decreasing,” said Takao Tokui, chairman of the All Japan Seal Industry Association, who recently met with Mr. Kono to request that hanko use continue on official documents such as contracts between companies.
I love the official lobby!
Is your seal kanji or katakana or something else?
Katakana. Feels silly to make Kanji for a Western name. I’m no Sumo wrestler.
I feel the same.
Although one of my friends decided to choose kanji to write my name.
My Jitsuin (the one that is used for official purposes, like buying property, and is registered at town hall) is in Romaji exactly like on my birth certificate. I’m glad I found out that is an option.
They don’t read your last name the way they read mine. Sucks having a name that means something (not good at all) in another language. It’s an icebreaker, though.
触手ポルノ
is an odd last name.
Yes, I read that was an option.
Now I’m really curious about straff’s real name, however… Or should I say Mr. Manko.
Hanko Panko Man(ko)!
Being a Sconnie, I assume it’s the name of the brats company or similar.
Bratwurst?
That’s madness! The fellow who wants to get rid of hankos should be run out of town on a rail. I would like to see hankos adopted in the US. I don’t grok cursive writing (one only needs that archaic skill to read those dumb-ass Babar the Elephant books) and I’ve never signed my name the same way twice, hankos would be a Godsend.
Zactly.
I went and bought a signature stamp for myself. Costs about 15 bucks if i remember right.
At least in financial services there is a huge push for e-signature.
To open many financial retail accounts it can take multiple signatures which is ridiculous. It’s a combination of government requirements and institutional inertia. So both are to blame.

Why are you people using ink like a caveman? Everything should be digital now.
It sounds nice but now you have to keep track of a single object and can’t use a random pen to initial anything.
Actually, most people end up with three of these.
One is for routine stuff like accepting packages. Many (most?) people have a different one for use at the bank or more important transactions. Then there is the official one which is used when buying property – this one is registered at town hall and in some cases a copy of that registration is needed when using this for a transaction.
Gonna need you to print this comment out and stamp it as read.
I just imagine introducing hanko stamps in the US would work about as well as mask wearing has.
I hope you picked up the forms to go with that from the Kuyakysho (city hall) to make it official.

Finally taking the European fisherman threat seriously.
The Cost Of Compliance With Biden’s Gun Ban
Gun owners will be left with a choice; hand over your arms to the government in exchance for some amount of cash, or fork over $200 per firearm and magazine in order to register them under the National Firearms Act and the empty promise from Biden that you’ll be able to keep ahold of your guns and magazines.
I’ll say up front that I believe a Biden/Harris administration would have some serious issues with compliance if they try to implement their gun and magazine ban. In New York for instance, a registration requirement for so-called assault weapons under the state’s SAFE Act was ignored by many gun owners, and that experience would likely be replicated on a nationwide scale in the event of a Biden gun ban taking effect.
Just for the sake of argument, though, how much would it cost American gun owners to comply with Biden’s demand? The National Rifle Association’s Andrew Arulanandam estimates that gun owners would pay at least $3.6-billion in taxes if they wanted to legally keep their guns.
More likely that all of the sudden no one owns any such firearms anymore on account of several freak boating accidents.
That’s a terrible plan. Report your now illegal firearms as lost/stolen and then when someone calls in a red flag on you, you got to jail for the firearm plus lying on a police report. The only valid response is open defiance of the law until it is over turned or insurrection.
They are all different plans for bloodshed – A lot of gun owners are going to end up dead. Cops collecting guns are going to get killed. And assholes making “red flag” calls are going to be hunted and killed.
A lot of
gun ownerscriminals are going to end up dead.Fify.
Yeah, if they actually pass this legislation they are calling the boogaloo’s bluff.
“That’s a bold move, Cotton…”
This would also put the punishment for forgetting to register a couple magazines you forgot you had in the garage on the same level as making a machinegun. I can see a lot of people making machineguns after the law gets so extreme.
And one of the candidates will have spent more time in his basement:

As part of the 2021 checkoff funds for Cornell dairy research approved recently by the New York State Dairy Promotion Advisory Board is the first phase (2021-22) of a two-year project to develop and build a “Kids Milk” for schools, foodservice and retail. The first phase is to complete the successful multi-step innovation process (remove lactose and add sugar), and the second phase will be to implement the “future view” (remove whey to improve shelf-stable flavor and reduce transportation cost and refrigeration).
https://agmoos.com/2020/10/18/kids-milk-project-receives-checkoff-funding-researchers-look-to-remove-lactose-and-whey-add-sugar/
this seems awful silly to me. Unless kids lactose intolerant, just give em whole milk. What is the point of this processed stuff? I find awful silly how your American education system belives that kids who are too fat are fat due to extra 50 damn calories from full fat vs skimmed milk… That is not the cause.
But that’s what they’ve been taught, and what they’ve been taught to teach.
If there’s no lactose, no whey, and no milkfat, then it’s not fucking milk, now is it?
People complained when we called it Koolaid.
There must be absolutely nothing to do in Romania.
I think Trump should skip the debate or start every statement with “That’s a great question, but first let me talk about (insert foreign policy, antifa, Biden corruption)
/moderator mutes Trump’s mic and repeats question
*Trump pulls out bullhorn*
If I was running, you would be my campaign manager.
I’d poach him.
Just heard on the teevee (more or less):
“Millions of Americans have pre-existing conditions. This administration wants to allow insurance companies to refuse to cover those conditions.”
Shouldn’t that be “refuse to cover those conditions at no additional risk-adjusted cost”?
Doesn’t matter. It is a lie. Trump has stated his position on pre-existing conditions is that they will always be covered.
Virtually every political ad is a lie, and most of them are an insult to intelligence as well.
I hate walking in an empty park or on an empty street with a mask. I cheated and took it off my nose until I saw people approaching. Fogged up my damn glasses. If only fucking Trump solved the corona problem as he could have and didn’t this shit would not happen. I blame America.
Don’t comply. If people say anything, just tell them you have asthma.
Why are you doing this? Are you afraid to get a fine?
Pie lives in a Soviet satellite state, mask violations will land him in a Siberian gulag.
Are you afraid to get a fine? – yes
The censurers are pretending to feel remorse…..
Me thinks that the remorse is caused by the fact the attempt to hide the story exposing the criminality of the basement dwelling Morlock candidate’s family, a story that also reflects negatively on the entire virtue signaling leftard establishment and the Morlock’s masters (Obama & Clinton crime syndicates), backfired and resulted in even more damage to both the already near zero credibility of the watercarriers trying desperately to carry the mentally degrading Morlock over the finish line, and the Morlock’s campaign efforts….
I am starting to believe I will laugh my ass off for a few minutes if trump actually gets reelected. And this is good, I could use to drop a few pounds.
You and me both, Brother! Unfortunately I have “Hank Hill’s” bum. I want to bathe in the tepid tears.
Tard Tuesday: The Party of Civility
White supremacy is the cause of covid. This is well documented in the scientific literature. LISTEN TO THE SCIENTISTS!
He makes the millions. Granted, it would be unpleasant to be RHHEEEEEED at when you are out with the Family but he knows what he signed up for.
Kiss Penna. goodbye as a Trump state. There are 2.8 million requests for mail ballots; only 700,000 are from Republicans. With a three day window after the election to harvest more votes, you can bet on the Phila. and Allegheny County Democratic parties being able to round up enough to push Biden over the top (even if the election is close).
I’m making no bets anymore. The entirety of this election is going to be a shitshow of epic proportions.
The cheating will be so egregious that the Court will need to slap it down. If you thought Bush/Gore was a shit-show you ain’t seen nothing yet.
The Court just green lighted cheating. So Yeah I don’t share in the optimism.
But you’ll see my predictions this afternoon.

Does Manchester really need tougher restrictions?

Is Andy Burnham’s resistance to tier three a principled stand or just an attempt to extract more money from central government? While Burnham is insisting that he ‘won’t be rolled over’ for money — he is believed to have been offered between £75 million to £100 million if he agrees to the higher level of restrictions — communities secretary Robert Jenrick is insisting that the government is close to making a deal with Andy Burnham’s local authority.
Huh, guess I didn’t realize local governments in the UK had that much autonomy.
I think one issue is they sometimes have autonomy in spending money but taxes are collected often centrally and than distributed. Which is strange… you can ask money to spend and not care where it comes from.
I’m calling it now. Trump in a landslide and Supremes getting involved to slap down late ballots.
I’m saying it’s gonna be a total shitshow that doesn’t get resolved for weeks and weeks.
Yeah, but you could say that for any event in 2020.
We’re four years short of the bicentennial of the most fucked up presidential election in history.
Nah, it will only need two weeks to flatten the curve.
That’s optimistic. The Supreme Court just decided to allow late ballots in the in no way corrupt state of Pennsylvania.
That’s the Court sans Amy.
They don’t re-do Supreme Court decisions just because there is a new judge.
This would be a new case.
How would he know that? It’s not like it’s in the links…
Trump is going to win. I refuse to believe people are stupid enough to vote a Biden/Harris ticket.
It takes a couple of Canadians to be more positive than our American cousins!
The American people may not be that stupid, but the corruption runs so deep now that what the people want hardly matters.
My prediction:
There will be no outcome Tuesday night. The “counting” will drag out in multiple swing states, with increasingly obvious and desperate attempts to stuff Biden ballots. By the time the winner is announced in late December, the losers will be convinced they were robbed.
And nothing will be learned, and nothing will be done to fix our broken electoral process even if the Republicans sweep the board. If the Dems win, our elections will be fixed to ensure that the Republicans can never take power again. The loss in 2016 and the close call in 2020 will guarantee that the Left takes no more chances with their Divine right to rule America.
I just hope it’s really wild, like 25 million Biden votes in Florida.
My thoughts are similar, except Trump will be comfortably ahead on Tuesday. Then the question will be are there enough mail in votes to get Biden elected.
He was jerking it
How was he to know the camera feed wouldn’t switch over when he swapped back to “stepsistercirclejerk.com”?
You give him too much credit. I would have gone with something much filthier. Fuck that Toad.

My sister called me yesterday telling me how one of our employees’ brother in law was dying in ICU with the Wuhan.
Age: 62.
Underlying condition: COPD.
What was interesting about the call was it started off as ‘see? It’s dangerous!’ only to peter out when I pressed for details.
One of the weirdest covid scare stories I read was about a dutch woman who became the first to die of reinfection with cov… like had it, was cured, got it again (or it remained lingering inside) and died. Sad and whatnot but the woman was 89 with advanced cancer…
She also had virtually non immune system. Which is how you don’t end up immune.
Is he definitely dying? Some people do make it out of ICU.
Dammit, I was tempted to post “The best part is when he recovers.”
Right. The first person I knew of who contracted it was a family friend’s husband, in his 70s and a recent cancer survivor. He was briefly hospitalized but made it out fine in the end.
Ongoing. Dunno.
Sorry about your Sister’s acquaintance. Nobody here wants anyone to die. We just want our lives back. And fuck the NFL.
But they are fine with the working-class going to their jobs and bringing the virus home to their families.

How long is that loop. I swear, watching, that sometimes I see new movements or expressions. “Did he just look off to the left, like, at his buddy, as if to say, ‘Can you believe this action?!’, wait, no, same 2sec loop, wait did…no, same 2sec…”
How did he arrive at 14pts? Or was that the guy before him and he’s still at zero?
He’s just so enthused. I wish I could summon that kind of passion for the day anymore.
“How did he arrive at 14pts? Or was that the guy before him and he’s still at zero?”
I might not be getting the humor, but he’s on the sideline at a college football game and apparently, his team is winning 14-0.

“The Hunter Biden shit gets weirder by the day. Not that you’d hear it on CNN or MSNBC, or any of the networks.”
How many people have voted already? How many will have voted by the time they finish releasing everything? Just release it all now.
Giuliani is either a moron, or it is a big nothing burger (what is left).
Both are fairly reasonable options.
Yeah, I’m starting to wonder if there really is nothing left. Not that what’s been released isn’t pretty damn bad.
1) Most of the (two or three) people who will be swayed by this will be voting later, because they’re not paying that much attention yet.
2) This is more about motivating turnout on the right and suppressing it on the left. Somebody who is not particularly enthused about voting, but does so under the illusion they’re voting for the “reasonable, decent” leftist may very well stay home if they hear this stuff. Somebody who usually votes republican, but is so very turned off by Trump may be motivated to go out and vote against yet another corrupt Democrat.
From a few weeks back…this guy is disgusted (!) that the USL is going to follow the rules of competition instead of letting a team that forfeit advance in the playoffs.

That gif makes her look more insane and maniacal than usual. She should fire her social media manager.
They sat down together and spent 2hrs to pick that image specifically.
Jesus the comments.
And my tweeter just got suspended for wishing her a
happy birthdaypainful death, penniless and alone, in the basement of Puerto Rican tenement.As it should! There is no call for that kind of cruel hatred toward our Puerto Rican brothers and sisters.
He said “alone” in a PR tenement.
Wow, they put up that gif themselves? She does indeed look more maniacal than ever. I really cannot believe that woman is going to have a serious chance at becoming President, even thought I called it three years ago that she would get the Dem VP nod.
I’ve seen at least two other “journalists” Tweet about Toobin’s “mistake” and “cut him some slack” and now I’m wondering how many of y’all are jerking it during meetings.
Please don’t answer that. I have a meeting at 11.
#MeToo is truly dead then huh?
Remember that, when it comes to delinquency, you are always supposed to cut the “Elites” slack. I remember when you were supposed to hold the elite to a higher standard, but i guess now they get the lower bar.
This is how you get such mediocre, awful people in preening positions where they look down on all the “lesser” people.
Would you rather be suspended or fired for masturbating on camera in a work meeting? That first day back is going to be awkward. The next time he attacks Trump or anyone else, he’ll be mocked mercilessly.
I’m too busy yankin’ it to discuss the topic anyway.
now I’m wondering how many of y’all are jerking it during meetings – dude have you any idea how boring my meetings are? I know some people can jerk it to anything but I don’t have that superpower
Masturbation is the only way I make it through meetings.
Meetings usually are a masturbatory exercise.
I hear #MeToobin is trending.
Go ‘way. Toobin’.
I was just thinking, there’s no way Toobin’ doesn’t enter the lexicon as new slang for jackin’ off.
Speaking of which, long ago, on my first trip to NYC, my dad and I went to go see George Carlin film an HBO special at Madison Square Garden. At the end of the show, he can back out to do about 15 minutes extra just for the people in the crowd. He ended the night with an extended bit on all the various expressions and words there are for masturbating. My favorite was, “Shaking hands with the unemployed.”
Aw. Am envious.
Heh..might be a new glibmeme with all this idiocracy going around.
Please, no.
Guess you could say he accidentally…

jerking it during meetings
Not in meetings. Just while on Glibs. And in the shower.
That reminds me. My wife was getting angry that all of her expensive conditioner was being used up. “Are you using it?” “Nope.” “Alright. I put a line on it so I’ll know if you are.” Convenient for me. I just top it off when I’m finished.
Oh my.
Since this is a thread discussing wanking, am I to assume you are using her conditioner for that? or were you just saying you use it for your hair (both with or without wanking it in the process)?
I started calling her Mary. There’s just something about her
And in the shower.
Uffda! I can’t even imagine a water bill that high.
Re is no way on this planet that someone working for any organization I have ever worked for wouldn’t be summarily fired for jacking off during a meeting. Period. No exceptions.
Never worked for a hockey or football team huh?
So you’re saying… you would eject him from the company?
Unless they were real high senior management, you mean?
No. Quite sure if I start Toobin’ during a Zoom meeting, my c suite job will be gone before the meeting is over.
Well, except for the SEC, maybe.
Period. No exceptions.
Huh. Seems harsh to lump women in with the masturbators, but you be you. How do you even tell?
Random Spot Checks.
safe to say it’s a ton.
Hmmmm……
Maybe there is money to be made in a program that forces people to type ‘a;sldkfj’ over and over again during meetings to prove that they have two hands on the keyboard?
I have a meeting at 11.
I’ll be in my bunk, see you there.
Philosophy paper poses the question “Is it unjust that some people are less sexually desired than others?” – and answers in the affirmative.
https://twitter.com/DegenRolf/status/1318434723962769409
This is my problem with “Justice” as it is used in the common leftist parlance. They mean “I get everything i want, and am perfectly content”. If they do not recieve something they want, it is unjust.
This. I just read an article for a Christian book club* I’m in that is slobbering over the idea that Christians somehow have rejected the idea of justice as a necessity, and thus have harmed blacks in the US.
Which base was gleefully stolen? The one where social justice is conflated with justice.
Christians should be able to quickly recognize that this is a twisted view on justice.
And I’m one who thinks Americans are too focused on Justice, and not enough on mercy. But we can’t let them redefine a word like justice and emphasize that what they mean is very different from what justice has ever meant.
It’s basically a 3 year old throwing tantrums if they don’t get their way…

One thing I notice about the people who complain about how unfair the world is: they usually are hung up on ways that it is — in reality — completely fair.
Neighbor has a better job? Develop your skills, educate yourself, get good at something in demand.
Neighbor has a better body? Work on yourself. Get maniacal about it.
It’s true that some people have a bit of natural talent that others don’t have, but I find the main separators are what people do. Make the best of things you can.
Butter face is a thing, just saying.
Butter face is a thing
Well, yeah. But I find the attractiveness of a face is not just about the bone and meat. Its also a lot about the personality that shines through.
A pretty face goes a long way… For men probably more than a good body
Considering all the butterface posts I’ve seen, you’re probably right.
There’s evidence that for women being very attractive causes people to assume they are incompetent at their job.
The opposite for men though.
Well i mean if the guy’s got a stupid face, why wouldn’t you assume he’s stupid!. Stupid Wilbur. And his Stupid Face.
Stupid Face AND Stupid Name? Cmon Dude, he Stupid.
That scans. Attractive women are handed the world on a silver platter. Attractive doods still need a job.
How it works for guys…
I was going to link the Tom Brady SNL sexual harassment sketch, but couldn’t find the link in a 5 second search.
Two qualified candidates, both female, one attractive, one not, the attractive one will get the job.
Further, an attractive black woman will get the job over an fat/unattractive white woman.
Nobody talks about this; it happens by unspoken consensus, and it is CERTAINLY not brought up in discussions of race.
You can quantify fat. You can’t quantify beauty.
I read a study once that that hot women get called less to job interviews when they include photos in resumes
That is not me being bitter or anything; it’s an observation. I am unemployable because people get tired of me after a while. It’s why temping was so awesome. The only job I ever had where I was the normal one and would have had forever, I left to have and raise a baby. That was 17.5 years ago.
In this country, normally* no one attaches a picture to the resume, because it includes information you’re not supposed to use for hiring decisions.
*there are always people who screw up.
I was going to say, I have never heard of pix with resumes.
In Europe it happens reasonably often to add a picture to cvs.
The explanation was that most of HR people who filter cvs are women and filter out hot women.
The same study showed hot man get a lot more interviews.
If I remember correctly
Having spent 15 years as a bartender in New Orleans’ French Quarter (likely, one of the nation’s busiest drinking markets), I was shocked to find a great many bartending jobs listed in NYC asked for a headshot along with one’s resume.
Not having been a NYC bartender, I was unaware that they do that.
However it’s a liability, since it opens them up to accusations of discrimination on protected class status, especially race.
I have a had a good relationship with a local head hunter in the area for 15 years or so. We grab a beer a couple times a year and probably contact each other a half dozen times with networking questions.
I give him shit that the only recruiters I reply to on LinkedIn are the hot 22 year old gal that just graduated college and is trying to become a recruiter. Doesn’t matter if she doesn’t know anyone in the market, as long as I can get a free cup of coffee and flirt, I’m in.
Drives him nuts. He will rant about how hard it is for him to get people on LinkedIn to reply to him.
Greater facial symmetry is higher associated with people calling the person beautiful. It’s not everything, but it is a big component.
Yo Pope! I will wager that if you reply to one of those hot twenty-something headhunters somewhere between that reply and the actual face-to-face appointment you will end up meeting some 35+something dude. Those photos are all fakes.
TJ, I went on a bunch of them when I was doing my last contract gig. I was working downtown and utterly bored.
All of them were with the gals that had contacted me. None of them really had serious offers. They were just trying to grow networks.
Justice as a concept really needs to be restricted to the realm of law, and lawlike things. It doesn’t make sense in any context other than some judging agent awarding penalties, or rewards, for blameworthy, or praiseworthy acts. There is nothing unjust about a Babe Ruth succeeding because he had talent so great that it overcame his failings of effort, nor is there anything unjust about some person who tries really hard failing because they are not good enough. Trying to apply the concept of justice in that sort of a setting just leads you to contradictions.
I can’t dispute that some people have natural gifts that others don’t have, but there are almost always ways to improve your lot.
Incel is a philosophy now?

Late as usual, but really enjoyed Animals story.
My sledding story. Southwest Missouri doesn’t get a lot of snow, and when we do it usually melts in a couple of days. Back in ’90 we got a good six inches, then it warmed up and melted some of it, then it got cold and refroze and had a slight drizzle the day before new years eve. So on New Years eve my buddy and his brother went to the local golf course, found a bunker to jump and proceeded to have a great time, until . . .
Well, I had the longest jump all day but my buddy beat me right before we were leaving, so I had to have one more shot at it. Him and his brother both gave me a push and I was really flying down that icy hill. I hit the bunker and pulled up (rail sled, face first) and instead of going out at a 30 degree angle, I went about 85 degrees, (this is the last thing I remember) came straight down face first. Knocked me the fuck out! The next thing I know we are at the truck and I am asking how did we get up here? Where my dog? As their taking me home I keep asking, We haven’t been drinking or smoking have we? Damn I wish I would have kept that sled, it looked like a car after being in a wreck.
Oh yea, I did make it to the party that night, and brought in the New Year properly!

The tone of that moronic tweet validates my belief that the right believes that the left are just are people with dumb and dangerous ideas that, while peddled as attempts to help, always seem to produce hell, and thus, need to be blocked, while the left really believes anyone with beliefs contrary to theirs are evil people with evil ideas.
I don’t really care who wins the next election so long as it’s not a Democrat.
No Shyte. At this point I would entertain giving up a body part if that would guarantee that a non-Democrat, relatively smart Border Collie wins the white house.

“Well, alrighty then.”
Oh no! The immoral scolds at Jezebel are attacking Chris Prat. What will he do?
Why would Star-Lord interfere in the US election?
He’s still registered to vote in Missouri, dumbass.
Chris Pratt has ALWAYS been terrible and I’m a little surprised it took people this long to realize it. He aint Andy Dwyer at all.
Andy was the worst character on The Office. What is this supposed to mean?
A key thing you’ll notice about modern Pop Culture is that often the worst people are the most popular.
See also: Every character in the Game of Thrones.
When I fire up GoT since it ended, I basically start a countdown to when Cersei dies.
Not sure if joking
Maybe not the worst, but he wasn’t great. The show was not good when Andy was the manager.
Tom was unequivocally the worst character
Not Jean Ralphio?
or Jean Ralphio’s sister.
I liked JR because he was a bit character. If he were a main character, he’d give Tom a run for his money as the wooooooooorssssstttt
Now that I have ruined my credibility, I’m still going to say Ben is worse than Tom (to be clear, I am talking about Parks and Rec and not The Office).
Cones of Dunshire is greater than anything Tom did.
I could see a glib reverse engineering a working copy of that game.
No need. A version of the game was made and prototyped with licensing from the show. They then tried to do a Kickstarter of it. It failed, surprising no one, considering that the cheapest level that included the game was $500.
I had drinks with Pratt once. Nicest guy in the world. Really humble.
That’s probably why they hate him even more…
He is not a self-obsessed asshat like most of them leftist dumbass types are….
Yeah I’m not jealous or anything.
He seems like an awesome guy.
He aint Andy Dwyer at all.
Nevermind, nuke this thread! I am a moron and mixed up Andy Dwyer and Andy Bernard.
Apparently its a big deal that he attends Hillsong Church.

“We played sloppily”
No sports media talking points, libertarians aren’t allowed to do that. The Chiefs played well and lost. /antagonist
That would have been an honorable loss. I felt we were arrogant and secure in our winning streak against them and that we did not play honorably.
The Raiders played their hearts out and were honorable.

There’s that, agreed.

The left read books like Huxley’s “Brave New World” and Orwell’s “1984”, and decided they were not warnings of a dystopian future, but “How To” manuals….
All these bombshells lately may not land so well, because they are things everyone knew was true, but just “politely” pretended not to aknowledge.
It’s like saying your uncle was the town Drunk at thanksgiving. We all know it, we just don’t say those things. Hence why all the vitriol directed at the people saying them.
I actually thought this was pretty much well known. Google has always shaped it search data.

HOLY MACKEREL! The GOP really do want to remain the Washington Generals to the Harlem Globetrotters of Progressivism.
To me it’s an admission that Steele has been looting the system just like Joe has. He’s afraid he’s going to get caught.
Pieces of shit, all of them.
I noticed this a few weeks back – the GOP is nothing but the DNC’s second string.
A lot of local politics, on the average, are dominated by Democrats so a lot of Republicans are just frustrated Democrats who fly the red flag because there are too many on the blue team. They actually believe in most of what the Democrats believe but have to keep the charade up to get ahead.
So when it comes to compromising with the DNC they are actually voting closer to what they believe in their hearts. This explains a lot of what we see going on.
A lot of local politics, on the average, are dominated by Democrats so a lot of Republicans are just frustrated Democrats who fly the red flag because there are too many on the blue team.
I think this is kind of true. But, not entirely. I think the demographic of the kind of people who comprise the political class tends to be heavily Democratic. The GOP just tends to be from areas where that outlook isn’t shared by the electorate (or at least a good portion of it). So, their “conservatism” tends to be a line they’ll feed the rubes so they can get elected.
This
It kind of proves a point that a lot of us have been thinking for years. The GOP establishment never really had much regard for its voters. Those voters were just a means to an end that had to be placated with a little bit of rhetoric every couple of years. And guys like Steele didn’t even much worry about voters at all, directly.
This
You win elections by promising to change things, you stay in power by promising to keep them the same. Both parties are more beholden to free shit than to their respective alleged ideologies because that is what keeps the people fat and happy even if it doesn’t appeal as such to the base voters.
This is why I am a fatalist about our situation. There might still be a path back to financial stability in theory, but in practice there is no possibility of implementing it.
So everyone who didn’t get a cabinet position in the Trump admin is endorsing Biden.
Everyone who sees the writing on the wall concerning the blatant corruption being exposed right now is pulling out all the stops to elect Biden so he’ll bury it.
Steele is repeating the same old bullshit lies about “fine people on both sides.” It’s not like he doesn’t know better. He’s obviously trying to save his ass.

I don’t think they need Biden to bury it. The FBI and DOJ are doing just fine as it is.
Barr has done such a good job at restoring the reputation of the FBI. :eyeroll:
Well at this late stage given the endorsement I’m just going to have to change my vote.
Obviously, this completely changes the calculus.
It was their turn.

And yet, even N95 masks used in clinical trials have not shown to reduce transmission of COVID or other viruses. So why don’t they? That’s the far more interesting question, IMO.
New young lady at work is kinda thicc but pretty enough to creep on surreptitiously, so I’ve got that going for me right now. Good night, Friends.

From the dead thread, but worth a look – scroll down to the only relevant graph, on the bottom, “Daily New Deaths in Ireland”:

Aaaand, they just locked the fucking country down. Again. Because the Powers What Be are selling the graph above with, I assume, The Narrative “Total Cumulative Deaths Hit a New Record!”
This is what happens when you allow innumerate sociopaths to rule you.

Fun fact: for some reason my family called a certain kind of corvid Gaiță. Gaiță would translate as jay I believe in English. The problem is that the bird is actually a Coțofană which translates as magpie and which looks nothing like a Eurasian jay. Until highschool I always though those birds were Gaițe (jays) not Coțofene (magpies).
another CORVID-19 casualty.
The thing that bothers me about the Toobin story is who the hell acts like that? His “excuse” is that he didn’t know Zoom was turned on. What? He thought it was a good idea to pull his dick out and jerk off during the middle of a work meeting when he wasn’t on camera? I don’t know anybody who grew up working class who it would cross their mind to act like that. But, this is a guy our society pretty much handed the keys to the kingdom to.
And they wonder why people are willing to buy into QAnon?
Add to it that he’s 60 years old. If you’re twenty-something and get caught yankin’ it on video, it can at least be attributed to high testosterone levels. At 60, you’re just a fucking perv who doesn’t understand boundaries.
Don’t give up, there’s still hope that when you turn 60 you can still fap. Just don’t do it in a work Zoom meeting, it will all be OK.
“Add to it that he’s 60 years old.”
This is significant. I passed that age a couple years ago. The natural decline in testosterone is slow enough that you don’t really notice it – but I was happy that I found it easier to concentrate on things not related to sex at certain times of the day.
Then a couple weeks ago I started taking a natural testosterone enhancement supplement so I could get better gains in the gym – I chose this one because it (supposedly) has ingredients to have less of an effect on sex drive (I still have enough of that anyway, just not so much that it distracts).
Results in the gym have been obvious and good. But even though it isn’t supposed to affect sex drive so much just the difference between being a normal 60+ guy and being 60+ with increased “T” has really reminded me what it was like for me 10 to 20 years ago.
A lot of OT but the point that this guy is 60 and acting like a boy 40 years younger cannot be overemphasized.
OK. So what is the supplement? Asking for a friend.
Me. I’m kinnath’s friend. Dish.

I can’t say it will work for everybody but I’ve been seeing it in strength gains and in the mirror.
I’m stunned by the number of people saying being suspended should be enough. No. I think he should be fired for showing seriously poor judgement.
It’s almost as if they’re saying, “C’mon who hasn’t jerked one off in the middle of a meeting?”
Uhhh….the overwhelming majority of humanity?
Whoa whoa whoa.
Are we counting among people who just started working from home, or long time telecommuters? Asking for a friend.
Kinnath?
Dammit, I thought of making that loop back up, but didn’t know if it’d make sense.
I think him and Nadler should bet their own sitcom. The Zoom Fapper and the Pants Pooper.
Not too many plots from that premise.
Since when is poor judgment a disqualifier for CNN?
It’s actually a prerequisite.
Sorry, “poor judgement” is actually being possessed of judgement, we’ll let you know.
And that this is just when he got caught – but for your organization it means that his judgment’s ALWAYS been that bad. Everything he’s ever said is now (should be, at least) under a massive cloud. Think of it like he’s a cop who got caught faking evidence – every single thing he’s ever said in court/public is now not credible.
Toobin’s been their “face” on lots of stuff – they don’t have a choice but to downplay this.
Hmmmm…..
Does this hardline extend to workers who might have talked their wife into a little fun during a boring conference call too?
Asking for a friend.
It’s also that he’s showing contempt to every one in the meeting. Whether he was caught or not, it’s disrespectful. I wouldn’t be willing to work with him, or I’d insist his camera be disabled, so it couldn’t “inadvertently” happen again. But mostly that level of disrespect would make me evaluate if I could Afford to quit if he wasn’t fired.
I’d require that his camera could not be disabled, because otherwise, how you gonna be sure?
No shyte. I can’t even envision the mindset of pulling it out, much yet yanking on it, during a work situation. Even if I knew there was no way I could get caught it’s just not a place/time where I would be inspired to that.
The strangest thing for me was that he wasn’t paranoid about the camera being able to be turned off via software. If I was going to yank it, I’d be sure to at least put something in front of the camera just in case.
In fact, I can’t believe he hasn’t pulled the old “My camera was hacked!” excuse.
Because hacked camera or not, he still pulled his pecker out and started beating off during a meeting. The camera is only a minor note in the story, really.
Haven’t you been paying attention?
Doesn’t matter what the reality is, if you claim you were hacked you have to ignore all of that stuff you actually did. Hillary/DNC’s emails? Hunter Biden’s emails? Doesn’t matter what malfeasance (which was never disputed) was shown in them, the fact that they were “hacked” means that they have to be utterly ignored.
Yup. It was supposed to be a secret, so now that it is out, you have to pretend that it is still secret.
Ciarimiallewhatever didn’t hack himself.
Bonus ignore points if Russian hackers were supposedly involved.
But not if Russian hookers were supposedly involved! That’s extra bad.
Well, unless you are Hunter Biden, of course.
A conspiratorial mind would suggest that they plant false(r) accusations against the hated enemy in order to deflect the true(r) accusations against their own. “What’s the big deal, X was already allowed to get away with it!”
Well, it was a break during a 3 hour work onlinr meeting. At least that’s my impression.

This is doubly true for the articles I’ve been writing.

About half the votes that get counted are going to be for Biden/Harris, give or take a few percent. I know a lot of immediate family who have already voted for those two.
It just amazes me how fundamental the split is. There is no way I hell that I’d ever vote for Biden/Harris. They run contrary to my worldview in almost every way. Gun to my head, I’d vote for the communist party before the democrats, if only because I know the communist candidate has no chance.
I contend a communist is far more morally grounded than the democrats or the republicans. The Hunter Biden story is simply more proof that corruption is what drives these ticks. At least most communists think they are doing good. The democrats know they are using the proles for their own selfish fantasies.

She walks with the determination of a person who believes the very fate of democracy might depend on the next door she knocks on, head down, shoulders forward. She wears nothing fussy, the battle fatigues of her troupe: yoga pants and sneakers. She left her Lincoln Aviator idling in the driveway, the driver door open — if this house wasn’t the one to save the nation, she can move quickly to the next.
For most of her life, until 2016, Lori Goldman had been politically apathetic. Had you offered her $1 million, she says, she could not have described the branches of government in any depth. She voted, sometimes.
Now every moment she spends not trying to rid America of President Donald Trump feels like wasted time.
OMG DEMOCRACY IS HANGING BY A THREAD!
We’ll all die if President Cartoon Villain isn’t kicked out of office.
I bet she still can’t describe the branches of government in any depth.
The executive does the budget, performs the mystical sacrifices to make the ‘conomy work, declares wars, makes the environment clean or dirty.
The Congress hears cases of wrongthink
The Courts make the laws.
Duh!
I was thinking the same thing.
Oh yeah?
1) The Congress is where you hold hearings to impeach GOP presidents.
2) The Executive is where all the real laws get made via Orders that the Dem president signs. If GOP president tries to sign one it can be ignored (or maybe even lead to impeachment charges)
3) The Judiciary is where the 28 new justices make sure that the little people don’t try to use “loopholes” in Executive Orders by making bureaucrats actually follow what is written down. They are a backstop to make sure things go well.
No one needs a Lincoln Aviator, especially not a low level Karen commissar. Its value could sponsor an illegal Honduran immigrant family for a year.
Selfish, greedy bitch!
My problem with democracy is that she has as much a vote as I do and more time to lobby others. I hate the idea of being ruled by anyone. But, being ruled by a Lori Goldman is especially noxious.
So… I get a BFG?
Bader Fucking Ginsburg
So, practically a parody of a privileged white woman. And left her gas-guzzler idling? Of course, she’s also very worried that Other People are contributing to global warming.
And, of course, once again we are told that fewer women supporting Repubs is a “troubling gender gap”, but fewer men supporting Dems is just *shrug*.
How can that not be a parody?
Thanks for the brain aneurysm, Brooks.
I’m going back to listening to Arc Angels.
Sober, thoughtful analysis.
Axelrod said, “Early retirement from the presidency is what — is the most rational analysis of that. I’ve spoken to people on both sides today, and everybody agrees that this is an insane strategy, and it’s not just fighting with Fauci. He went to Michigan, a state that is among those that David described as the old blue wall, and he attacks the governor who was targeted in a kidnapping by terrorists, essentially, domestic terrorists, and he makes light of that. He goes to Wisconsin, a state that has 20,000 new cases in the past week, and he talks down the coronavirus, and then today, he spent the day campaigning against Fauci. And let me tell you something, Wolf, I look back at a poll from just the last few weeks, and people were asked who they trusted on the coronavirus, medical scientists 84%, the CDC 77%, Dr. Fauci 67%, Donald Trump 26%. That’s the fight he wants to pick two weeks before the election? It is nuts.”
Axelrod said, “He is essentially nine or ten points behind two weeks out. That is more than twice the margin that he was behind last time, and he is not the plucky challenger here. He is now an embattled incumbent in the midst of a pandemic that’s getting worse, for which he gets poor grades. It is a very, very hard task to turn this around. I think at this point it is far likelier that he is going to suffer an electoral landslide than it is that he will reach 270 electoral votes.”
Democrat political operative says political operative things without frothing at the mouth. TMITE runs it as straight analysis. Idiots gobble it up.
If Biden wins by 20 Electoral points they’ll call it a landslide.
Hell if he won by one point they would call it a landslide.

NEW YORK NYC architect killed by falling debris in Midtown should have known sidewalks are dangerous: city attorneys
I do understand that sometimes an attorney has to grasp at straws for a defense when his or her clients insists on fighting. But somebody at NYC’s Law Department should have picked a different defense. Of course with government all bets are off.
Should the architect have known because he did the shoddy design that fell on him?
Well, that’s just plain unfortunate. I always had a fondness for that band.
